Definitely fight Vendrick for his soul and equipment, ignore the dragon (because its soul is actually in Freja's boss arena; use the Ashen Mist Heart), and remember to kill everyone!

Fuzz posted:Stop using katanas. Seriously. Greatswords are so much faster in this game that they swing at basically the same speed, have better animations across the board, and hit way harder. If you want to Dex one, use the Mirrah Greatsword or the Arced Sword. I think thats the 60fps = more durability loss thing in action....I use the Bracing Knuckle rings with it anyway and dont seem to have too many issues unless I've gone particularly long without a rest.

Even with the 60 fps durability bug you shouldn't be penalized for hitting corpses if in the same swing/thrust you hit an alive enemy.

I just upgraded both the great club and large club to +10 and used the bracing knuckle ring. That way it would take longer for them to break, but even if they did get close I could switch to the other one and have almost the same exact damage. Large Club is a little less base damage but has better scaling at +10 so it ends up with only like 20 attack lower at 40+ strength.

So, the only reason for souls is to make weapons via Ornifex, correct? If i have no interest in the weapons i can eat the souls without remorse?

Drangleic sucks. I'm going back to space.   This was my dual caestus/sunbro play through. Dual fists is pretty loving bad. I mean, yeah its way better than it was in Dark Souls but the pitiful range means its so hard to actually hit certain monsters. I nearly died to the Giant Lord when he had 1 hp left just because my punches kept missing his feet somehow. My fists justg seemed to phase through Darklurker half the time. As for Nashandra, fists inexplicably can not break the curse bubbles. I tried punching them a dozen times but nothing ever happended. I equipped a sword just to hit them once and they died just fine. Still, it was worth it to dress up as an astronaut and punch everything to death. Lots of people summonsed me too so I think people were pretty amused with it Is there any point for a sunbro to go into NG+? Can I still help NG+ people in NG? VVVV I've heard you can with the vanquisher's seal equipped, and its even better than caestus. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Jun 4, 2014 |

The best thing about dual cestus is the powerstance. Can you powerstance bare fists somehow? Also: Way to miss the opportunity to make unarmed backstab a German suplex, From software.

Hyper Crab Tank posted:The best thing about dual cestus is the powerstance. Can you powerstance bare fists somehow? Vanquisher's seal lets you. It does pretty good damage, especially the L2 two-hit. It's probably at its best in PvP though, where absolutely no one recognizes that power stancing without weapons means they're about to get hosed up. Lots of people think they're in for some little 2-3 damage gimmick fight.

A new patch is forthcoming. Bino-boosting and parry-walking are both going away. No set date, yet. http://info.darksouls.jp/other/pc/information_detail/2014-06-04-01.html

So 3 separate DLCs coming incrementally throughout the year? Ivory King looks really interesting to me, mainly because it seems to be a snow level.

If it's anywhere near as good as the Artorias DLC from the first game, I'm pumped as all hell! It looks pretty neat and those new areas look like they'll be fun to explore!

Since they used cut monsters from Dks in this, I wonder if they'll use cut assets from World 6 in Demon's (which would have been a snowy level) in the third DLC. Hoping for wearbears and posh owlmen.

Oh my loving god that looks amazing. But I'm already slightly disappointed. When I heard "Crown of the Sunken King", I immediately assumed it would be about the ocean. A Heide Knight was in the trailer so I thought you would explore the sunken ruins deep being Heide to recover the crown of the king that ruled it. You would end up going into a hosed abyss full of all sorts of wonderful aquatic horrors. I would kill for Deep Souls  Still, that's just my personal bias talking. That trailer looks great and I'm super excited to die horribly in exotic new locals. EDIT: More baseless speculation; the Ivory King in the 3rd DLC is the Giant Lord and you're going to travel to the forgotten realm of the Giants.
